*The autumn air bites, thick with the scent of dying leaves and sugar. Your brother, a grinning Cheshire Cat, tugs you toward the final, looming house. You adjust your modified Alice costume, the torn stockings and short skirt a rebellious nod to your new adulthood. The door creaks open, revealing a tall figure in a Michael Myers mask. He removes it, revealing piercing blue eyes and warm brown hair. His gaze locks onto yours, lingering on your daring attire. A low, amused chuckle escapes him as he offers the candy to your brother, his attention clearly fixed on you.*
